    Low Carbers and Friends - 1st qtr 2016

    Hi everyone. Quick update, my dad is still with us, declining, but still here. My sister is home. She started smoking again and some fall out with the "friend" she had helping. So I got my new Cathe workout pack Strong and Sweaty on Christmas Eve. I did the cardio workout (second one) and added...

    Rhea, sorry to hear about your dad. I have noticed it is so difficult to be far away from family when things go wrong. My parents are a few blocks from me, so that is wonderful during this time. My sister lives 30 min away in the country, you wouldn't think that was a big deal, but it is when it...

    OK, so it looks like no one has posted for a month! Since I last posted, I've had some bad stuff going on. My dad went into the hospital Sept 30 and they ended up putting him on hospice. He went home in bad shape, we thought it was the end. But with all the TLC from the family and hospice care...

    Lita, yea, I know it's going to take awhile. I hear it can be the rest of your life, but I don't really hear the 70 + year olds I work with complain about it, so I'm feeling like in my 70's all be free of it, lol! Shoot, perimenopause lasted about 12 years for me. What a journey! OK, I ordered...

    Hi everyone. I guess I took quite a long while off. I tried to read up as much as I could about what you all are doing. Not sure if I told you all, but I got a new job position the beginning of the year (with the same place), so have been learning that. Can't believe it's Sept. We had a hot...

    Lita, I definitely know the carbs are leading to bloating, specifically grains, fruits and veggies, not so much. I am taking a break from probiotics, even though they really helped reduce my bloating. I'm doing it just to switch things up. My friend has gone low carb and is only thing that...

    Hi everyone! Did you see that Cathe is doing a new series or filming or something? I saw a post she had, I think it was on facebook. I have not done much with ICE as I had planned, it's hard to think about another series. Sooo, I am so frustrated with belly bloat! I am cutting wayyyy back on...

    Hi everyone, Well, I think this is the first time I've been here all year. So... I got pressured into taking the manager position at work. Was so stressed out for about 2 months, lots to learn, very little instruction. It seems that is the norm at a lot of place of employment, you just get...

    Hope you all had a good Christmas. I did another ICE workout, this time not a whole one, but the extra stuff all put together. I got the low impact workout so I could do the heavier back add on. This is how I ordered it. Warm up, blizzard blast, back, core 2 and stretch. I think I could just do...

    Tracy, I will have to find that user's guide for ICE and also the rotations, I think for me, that might be a better way to go. I did the low impact cardio workout. I did get sweaty, but the workout is doable, not overwhelming. I think these might be good to mix with the harder series to have...

    Has anyone got the ICE series yet? I got it today and did the upper body workout, 41 min long. It was unique with some of the moves, I liked not a ton of reps. This is the only workout I've done so far, this was not a difficult workout, but still good. I noticed that you can do 5 different upper...

    Thanks, Lita. I am now 50. We celebrated with going to lunch with DH, then went to the new Star Wars movie with my 2 boys, then had cake that my youngest son made. It was a nice day. I also got notice that the new ICE series was shipped out, so I'm hoping to get it before Christmas and give one...

    Lita, what a vacation, ugh! We had a productive Thanksgiving weekend, got a lot done. I decided not to take time off at Christmas so that I could possibly travel to AZ to see my friend some time this spring. Just found out my manager who started the same time I did is leaving for a new job...

    Tracy, that is not weird about the tree health at all. In fact, some insurances are requiring that trees that are unhealthy be taken down or they won't insure the house. We haven't had that here, but in FL my father in law did. We get a lot of ice pulling trees and branches down during the...

    Well, first day it's really been cold here. It makes me so creaky and achy, we seriously have to move to a warmer climate some day, I'm thinking in 10 years! Saw a preview on FB with one of ICE workouts, I am looking forward to trying them out.

    Hey, there. Tracy, I saw those storms on the news. If you see now, there's snow around Chicago and it goes over quite a bit of Michigan and the tip of Ohio. We are getting rain from it, thank goodness. That was a scary experience you had, for sure. Lita, did you get some of that wind that went...

    Hey there, I'm back. Have been super busy with work and flu clinics and just tired. Haven't done as many Cathe workouts, going to the gym to get the heavier wt work. That has been going on for 2 months now and I'm starting to notice differences, especially with some muscle groups that I can't...

    hey, everyone, just checking in. Did I tell you all that we joined the new neighborhood rec center. I am trying to increase my wts using the machines as I could only lift so heavy because I couldn't manage much more. The machines are making it safer. I'm just wanting to hit some muscles in...

    OK, update on the probiotics. I have given them to my dad in desperation. Not sure if I have told you all, but he has had chronic, severe diarrhea for over 3 years now. He has lost so much wt. They've done all kinds of tests, no cancer. End result on reports "poor absorption". No duh! He now...

    OK, get ready for the song..."Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, ha..lle..lu, ja!" I found a WONDERFUL probiotic. It is Ultimate Flora 50 billion. I did a search online and found it on Amazon, got a 90 day supply. Got over 600 reviews and 77% were 5 star. Helped people with IBS, constipation...
